As the killing of Minnesota resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents has sparked fresh outrage in the state and across the country, some lawmakers have pushed back on the Trump administration’s explanation for DHS’s aggressive tactics and called for an independent investigation. Correspondent Scott Pelley interviews Sen. Rand Paul, chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, who summoned top DHS immigration officials to testify later this month. Pelley also speaks with former Justice Department and DHS investigators about the state of the federal probe. Leading up to Artemis II – NASA's first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years - correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on this critical step forward in American space exploration. Whitaker interviews the four astronauts who will embark on the 10-day mission, which could pave the way for a sustained presence on the Moon and lay the groundwork for future missions to Mars. If you think America’s top laugh factories are only in New York, Chicago, and LA, think again. Reporting from Amsterdam, correspondent Jon Wertheim takes us inside Boom Chicago, an English-language improv theater founded in the early ’90s by two American comics. What sounded like a punchline became a pipeline, launching future stars like Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Amber Ruffin, Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis. At a moment when American comedy feels under siege, this beloved Dutch theater keeps proving that funny survives—and travels.

  • Who can you kill and when can you kill them?

  • Those are questions Republican Senator Rand Paul is asking after the death of two people in Minneapolis at the hands of federal immigration officers.

  • You seem to be saying trust is broken.

  • Without question.

  • How can trust be restored?

  • What's at stake?

  • Public confidence in our rule of law in general.

  • For a moon rocket this massive, this is what one small step looks like.

  • At Kennedy Space Center,

  • the three and a half million pound rocket and crew capsule rolled out a top in Apollo era crawler,

  • inching four miles from the assembly building to the launch pad.

  • There to watch, the four astronauts who will soon go back to the moon.

  • What's going through your mind?

  • Don't screw it up.

  • The Dutch are famous for their windmills, their canals, their bikes, their comedy not so much.

  • So you might be surprised to learn that some of America's funniest figures sharpen their comic chops at this impromptu club in Amsterdam.

  • Yes, Amsterdam.

  • Dutch people not the most giving laughers.

  • I was going to ask you about that.

  • Dutch people laugh like this.
